They stood up in the air on their roots and actually could move a
little
distance each year.

How?

To quote from that site, "This tree is known as the 'walking tree' because it
can move. If the tree needs to move, it just grows roots on that side and lets
other roots die. Eventually the tree is relocated."

That would cause the tree to fall over, whice is indeed moving. That tends to
be all at once and not a little bit each year though.
